Electrolytic in-Process Dressing (Elid) Grinding for nano-Surface Generation
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Electrolytic In-Process Dressing (ELID) grinding using a super-abrasive wheel has opened up the gateway for ductile machining of hard and brittle materials to achieve nanometric surface finish. ELID grinding uses anodic dissolution of a metal-bonded grinding wheel to ensure constant protrusion of the sharp grits to realize smooth and stable grindin
